In March, The Pinetree.net reported that Ironstone Amphitheatre announced the concert would be part of its 2012 concert season. At the time, Jackie's agent Marc Johnston said the news was "inaccurate." Since then, an agreement was reached.

This time the announcement is verified on the Jackie Evancho Facebook page.
